Without any prior announcement or teaser, the developers of Grow a Garden have released a secret trading update that’s taken the community by storm. If you haven’t logged in recently, you’re in for a surprise—trading is now officially part of the game, but with a few twists. This new system lets players finally exchange items and currency, adding a fresh layer of interaction. And yes, you’ll need a special item to make it happen so check it out and see if there is a new code in the game.
How the New Trading System Works
To access trading, there’s no visible button or direct menu. Instead, here’s what you need to do:
- Go to the Gear Shop using your recall wrench.
- Look for a Trading Ticket, available for 100,000 shekels or 19 Robux.
- Make sure you’re in a private server, as the feature won’t work in public servers yet.
Once you have your ticket:
- Equip the Trading Ticket.
- Hold the item and press E to initiate a trade.
- Note: The ticket is one-time use, so keep extras on hand if you plan to trade often.
The current trading system allows you to exchange fruits, pets, and shekels. There’s no limit on how much money you can give, meaning you can donate billions if you want. The UI features a clear two-step confirmation process to prevent accidental trades.
Bonus Updates You Might’ve Missed
Alongside trading, a few more under-the-radar changes were rolled out:
- New Inventory Slot: A new slot appears to be added in preparation for the upcoming cooking update—most likely tied to feeding pets or creating items.
- Tanning Mirror Moved: It’s no longer in the gear shop. You’ll now need to craft it, along with the Lightning Rod.
- Mutation Machine Update: The Tranquil and Corrupted mutations have been removed as the current event wraps up.
- Event Ending Soon: If you haven’t claimed plants like the Tranquil Blossom or Corrupt Ketune, act fast—they’ll be gone for good in a few hours.
This secret trading update in Grow a Garden is a game-changer, opening the door to item sharing, gifting, and more community interaction. Even though it’s still limited to private servers and uses a one-time ticket, it shows where the game is headed—more customization and player-to-player systems. With more features already teased, like the food system and major updates coming soon, now’s the time to get in and try it all out.
Keep your eye on the game, get your trades in, and make sure you complete any remaining event tasks before they’re gone for good. And if more updates or bugs appear, you can bet the community will uncover them fast.
